The former UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley claims to secure a knockout in the much-anticipated boxing rematch against Jake Paul. Previously, ‘The Problem Child’ was set to take on Tommy Fury in his fifth boxing match. However, the latter pulled out of the fight just weeks before the event because of an injury. Interestingly, the former UFC fighter chimed in as a replacement on short notice.
Earlier, in their first brush up, ‘The Chosen One’ lost against the YouTuber turned boxer. However, this time around, the former UFC champion will aim for a clear result and possibly avenge his loss.
Woodley went live on his official Instagram account to address the fans after news of the rematch broke out. In the live session, he said, “I am f—ing in shape. And I am ready to f***ing go. I sparred 12 rounds the other day.”
